Tidbits With Timmy: Let it Shine
During Timmy’s birthday month I’m sharing tidbits with Timmy. Join me as I travel down memory lane. 2003 I read a story to my three year old about having three wishes so I asked Timmy, Mom: “What would you wish for if you could have anything in the whole wide world?” Timmy: “Light” Mom: “Why…
Funny…or Not?
Don’t know who wrote this poem, but thought it worth sharing! Let me know your thoughts! I was shocked, confused, bewildered as I entered Heaven’s door, Not by the beauty of it all, nor the lights or its decor. But it was the folks in Heaven who made me sputter and gasp– the…

Ramblings on Family and Being Nice
Chris made an interesting observation while he was on a weekend field trip with his junior high. “I’m really nice when I’m away from home.” At home Chris is characterized by being bossy, nit-picky, and sometimes just plain nasty with his siblings, especially the two that rub him the wrong way. I can relate to…
